Environmental regulations vary by industry, and we've outlined what you need to consider, based on the industry you're in or the types of processes and equipment you have. This is not meant to be a comprehensive list; we've tried to highlight industries and processes from which we've received the most questions.
Grants and loans
We periodically offer grant and loan funding to help small businesses, government agencies, educational institutions, and other organizations for a range of business activities. See MPCA's Grants and loans page to apply for currently available funding.
